U.S. Military Advantage - Melting Away ?

[Reality Check]

In a move that raises questions about just how much information the CIA / NSA Traitor has given to potential U.S. enemies, the Russians are reported to have abandoned computers and moved back to using typewriters for sensitive information.

The Unites States has enjoyed an intelligence advantage since World War II, and history may record the decision to begin using the NSA spy methods within the United States as the catalyst event that lead to the greatest loss of foreign intelligence gathering capabilities in History.

As the battle of Mid-Way during World War II and the ambush of the Japanese admiral that devised Japan's war plans during World War II demonstrate, foreign intelligence can be key to winning both battles and wars.

Hey guys, you don't need typewriters. Have your technicians take an ordinary computer and remove all the communications hardware and software and all the ports, and then install an old-fashioned printer port connected to a cheap printer. That should work.

Really ?

That is exactly the type of common sense that allowed the United States to have such foreign intelligence ( and resulting military ) dominance since World War II.

After the CIA / NSA traitor has been on Russian soil for more than one week ( or is it now more than 2 weeks? ) the Russians have either suddenly become "Paranoid" or they now know that such a quaint attitude is very dangerous to keeping secrets.

I am also not sure that these changes have been limited to just Putin's body guards. While the security agency that is implementing these changes does protect the Russian President's communications as one of their duties, I believe their counter espionage duties extend to many other areas of the Russian state.

Hong Kong government, may, or may not, mean the Communist Chinese government did not know. It also might have meant the Chinese wanted to make sure the press did not know until they, the Chinese Communists, could play dumb about what was going on until he was out of Communist Chinese air space.
